Class Objectives
/Class Outline
This lecture covers the practice and some necessary theory of supervised learning (regression and classification). We cover basic concepts of statistical learning, like the bias-variance trade-off, and practical aspects of model evaluation and hyper-parameter selection.
Starting from basic linear models, we proceed to neural networks and its implementation and training using PyTorch. The lecture consists of three types: ordinary lectures, hands-on sessions, and presentation by students.
